Sarcopenia is a loss of muscle mass and function in the elderly that reduces mobility,
diminishes quality of life, and can lead to fall-related injuries, which require costly …

The evaluation of rate of force development during rapid contractions has recently become
quite popular for characterising explosive strength of athletes, elderly individuals and …

Background: Limb muscle dysfunction is prevalent in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) and it has important clinical implications, such as reduced exercise tolerance …

Developing skeletal muscles express unique myosin isoforms, including embryonic and
neonatal myosin heavy chains, coded by the myosin heavy chain 3 (MYH3) and MYH8 …

Mammalian skeletal muscle comprises different fiber types, whose identity is first established
during embryonic development by intrinsic myogenic control mechanisms and is later …

Previous studies have identified over 3,000 genes that are differentially expressed in male
and female skeletal muscle. Here, we review the sex-based differences in skeletal muscle …

Variations of fresh meat quality exist because the quality traits are affected by various
intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Because the meat quality is basically dependent on muscle …

We carried out the first analysis of alternative splicing complexity in human tissues using
mRNA-Seq data. New splice junctions were detected in∼ 20% of multiexon genes, many of …

Myosin is the primary regulator of muscle strength and contractility. Here we show that three
myosin genes, Myh6, Myh7, and Myh7b, encode related intronic microRNAs (miRNAs) …

The shape of the force-velocity (FV) relationship has important implications for different
aspects of muscle physiology, such as muscle efficiency and fatigue, the understanding of …
